Calendar
At Creative Coding Utrecht we organise a range of monthly events that cater to different interests, age groups and skill level. We aim to help you develop your connection with all things coding, no matter how foreign the subject might seem to you.
Have no idea what Creative Coding means? Have a background in programming but you wouldn’t know where to start making your own, creative stuff? Or do you simply want to enhance your pre-existing skills and create even more flashy visuals, animations and more?
Filter our events by topic and accessibility level, there is something for everyone. To look up any of our past events, check out the archive.
Ground Finissage, Sound Ecologies Meetup and Walkshop
The Ground season comes to a close with a day that brings listening, learning and multispecies collaboration to the foreground one more time. Throughout the past months, artists and researchers have explored how sound can open new ways of sensing urban ecologies. During the finissage we return to these ideas through a walkshop in the afternoon and a multispecies concert in the evening, reflecting on what Ground has made possible.
From 13:00 to 15:00, the Sound Ecologies Walkshop invites visitors to move slowly through the garden and its surroundings. Werner de Valk will lead a datawalk that brings together two artistic research projects that tune our attention to the more than human world. Matthias Hurtl presents Listening to the Cracks, a long term investigation into multispecies life in the gaps and edges of the city, using field recording, deep listening and soundscape ecology to trace how birds, insects and bats inhabit these spaces. Nico García Peguinho introduces Sensing the Forest, an ongoing research project that uses acoustic ecology, community science and IoT technologies to understand forest behaviour and climate change through listening. Together, these contributions create an open space for noticing, questioning and re attuning to the textures of our environment.
Friso Wiersum and Bart Witte will talk about exploring the city through a nocturnal lens with their project Nightwalkers. They will share their experience at Expodium with walking as their artistic method. Their long-running practice opens up alternative ways of sensing urban space after dark, where shifting perception and slow movement reveal different stories, atmospheres and multispecies encounters.
